Injury Prevention

Direct Solutions emphasise on the prevention for large to medium sized employers. Industries such as construction and healthcare have been shown to have this greatest number of workplace injury claims, further emphasising on the importance of having preventative measures. These services includes a tailored approach of the following measures:

Ergonomic Assessments (implemented individually or with groups)

An ergonomic assessment is a vital process for ensuring the health and well-being of individuals in sedentary or office-based settings. Trained professionals evaluate the setup and arrangement of workspaces to optimize comfort, safety, and efficiency. By examining factors such as posture, workstation layout, equipment design, and tasks performed, ergonomic assessments help identify and address potential risk factors for discomfort, pain, or injury.

These assessments are relevant for all employers seeking to create healthier work environments and prevent musculoskeletal issues among their employees. Whether it’s adjusting chair height, improving desk ergonomics, or promoting proper keyboard and mouse usage, ergonomic assessments offer practical solutions to enhance employee well-being and productivity.

By investing in ergonomic assessments, employers demonstrate their commitment to the health and safety of their workforce, ultimately fostering a positive and supportive work culture.

Manual Handling Training Presentation

Through our manual handling training presentation and practical package, we implement hands-on activities and real-life case studies, workers gain practical experience in identifying and mitigating manual handling risks specific to their workplace environments.

Moreover, our training is tailored to accommodate various roles and responsibilities within your organization, ensuring that all employees, from office staff to warehouse operators, receive relevant and practical instruction. We also offer customizable training modules to address specific industry requirements and challenges.

Functional Capacity Evaluations

Our Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) assesses an individual’s physical abilities and limitations to determine readiness for work. Through objective measurements and functional tasks, we provide valuable insights for rehabilitation planning, return-to-work decisions, and disability determination. By tailoring interventions based on FCE results, we promote successful rehabilitation outcomes and facilitate safe return to work transitions.

Job Task Analysis

Our experienced physical consultants are able to assess the employee job role, inclusive of physical demands, cognitive demands and clearly outline the requirements of the role within a report. This is shown to be helpful when clarifying the physical or cognitive requirements for a job role, to meet the workers capacity. In addition, we use JTAs during medical case conferences for the purpose of educating the General Practitioners, and also complete JTAs for employers to support them with management of meeting work health and safety standards.

Pre-employment Assessments

Our Pre-Employment Health Screening Assessments evaluate candidates’ health and physical fitness to ensure they can safely perform job duties. By assessing medical history, physical abilities, and functional capacity, we identify any health concerns or limitations that may impact job performance. Our screenings help employers make informed hiring decisions and promote a healthy and productive workforce.
